I can only agree completely with AlveyS
I tested the water many years ago. Navy shirts just didn't suit me or the rest of my wardrobe at that time.
Tried one on the other week and it looked great. Possibly because what's left of my hair has gone grey now? Don't know but it just worked really well.
I've since brought a couple more and it seems now they go with a lot more of my wardrobe. Particularly pleasing with a herringbone blazer, or casually with grey knitwear and jeans.
^ Right. That all-important passing of time.
